Good Product or Nonsense?

Wow, a lot of varied takes on CD cleaning. Thank you all!

Dekay- good line!!

Aja-Thanks. I have been told I don't know sh-t from Shinola!

Caps- I think they were free basing the stuff!

 @oregonpapa  I use eyeglass lens cleaner and it works well for dust, smudges. Can't say that I've heard an increase in SQ.

 It's not a conditioner as other products claim to be; the coating prevents stray reflections which results in increased focus and also stops static buildup.
No first hand experience, I'm only quoting what's on the websites.

This thread is just for fun. Right?

I've tried a bunch of the after-market CD treatments. While some appear to "make the sound of digital sound more analog," by smoothing the sound, I've found that they remove some high frequencies. That's why I switched to a basic eyeglass lens cleaner. After cleaning, I use a Radio Shack DVD tape eraser to demagnetize the CD. 

I think it best to seek out recordings that were engineered correctly. If done properly, Redbook CD's sound amazing.

I've used Optrix for years and had only positive results with it.  It seems to improve the sound of some discs noticeably, though some it doesn't seem to do anything for.  I agree that using it on gold CD's may not a good idea.  I've used L'Art Du Son cleaner with good results as well, though it is more expensive.
